Our Lochside correspondent has landed the largest Brown Trout recorded for Lochluichart and surrounding area.David Willis caught a fish weighing 11 lbs. David’s previous personal best was a fish of 3.5 lb.
This beats the previous best weight, recorded about 20 years ago, of 6 lbs (caught by Jock Logie).
Our intrepid angler, caught the fish using a gold spinner on a “bright and sunny day”, reckons this is his lifetime personal best for a Brown Trout, and has had the fish's likeness carved in wood.

PS: David managed to beat his regular companions, the otters, with this beauty - we feel sure they are wondering
where they are going wrong… and probably look miffed like this one!Photograph courtesy of

STOP PRESS: David has now received the scale reading from the Scottish Fisheries & Scottish government saying that the fish was in it’s 10th year, scales show growth and good condition, and of wild origin (not farmed or introduced).
